Vin Diesel confirms three more Fast & Furious movies will be produced

Vin Diesel has promised that there will be three further Fast & Furious movies.

Taking to Facebook, Diesel sought to clear up the rumours that the next instalment has been struggling to find a director, but that there is plenty more to confirm from the franchise.

He said: "Since I became the producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way… literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you. My producing partner Neal would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled."

He went on: "To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8 yet… let alone seen a script. Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision. They have been like family… I promised the studio I would deliver one last trilogy to end the saga. I will announce the directors on my next post…"

The seventh instalment of the franchise was released earlier this year and is available to purchase on the right-hand side of the page.
